The singer and his team, who have previously said they are “vehemently opposed” to ticket re-sales, have explained how fans will need four forms of ID when they arrive at the venue.

“Ed and his team have a strict stance against anyone using secondary ticketing websites for profit,” says a statement from Ed’s record label, Atlantic Records.

“On this tour, any tickets that are resold will not be valid unless they are bought and sold through Ed’s official resale partner, Twickets, which allows fan to fan sales at face value plus booking fee only.
